Every month, we dedicate time to reflect on how the FormScore community feels, what the main drivers are, and think of ways to support you.

Here is what we observed in September: 

• The overall average score was 6.17, which is lower compared to previous months. Here at Form, our own experiences suggest this could be down to the summer holidays coming to an end, which brings the return to work, getting children settled back into school and perhaps the evenings starting to get darker.

• The data below suggests that Travel, Weather and Nutrition positively impacted our Form but that Stress, Work and ill-health brought it down.

  So, what can we do to improve our low form? Stay connected. Reach out to those we trust to have a chat and share our worries. Check out the tips and resources in The Form Guide ebook and remember that professional help and support is available if you are feeling very low. Book an appointment with your GP or use the resources available in your workplace.

Form in September

Most selected Drivers of Form

The most selected drivers of form in September were Work, followed by Energy and Sleep. 

Does this resonate with you? How energetic or lethargic did you feel in September? And how has your sleep been recently? The data suggest that all 3 drivers were usually logged at an average of 6, which is Average Form. 

Drivers with the most impact on Form

Here, we look at the drivers with the biggest positive and negative trend (direction of movement when the driver is selected). 

• Weather, Connections and Travel had a positive impact on our form. This is a reminder that spending time with loved ones, and getting away from our usual routine and surroundings have the power to lift our form.

  • It’s worth noting that although Travel had the most positive impact on our form, it was the least selected driver.

• The data show that Stress Management, Finances and Work, had the most negative impact on our Form.

  • If Finances cause stress, can you review your household expenses and seek financial advice?

  • Similarly, if Work causes stress, try to prioritise breaks in the day that keep you well. Don't sacrifice those moments of recovery because of busy-ness. To improve our performance we need to dedicate time for recovery first.

Average score when selecting a Driver of Form

Here we see the average score selected when a driver of form was logged:

• Travel, Weather and Nutrition were all logged at an average of 6.

• Stress was logged the lowest overall, at an average of 5, followed by Work and Health, which were logged at an average of 6. (It’s also worth noting that Work was the most selected driver of form in September.)
